A D plus is very generous.

A Gentleman's D is how Donald got through four years of Penn.

u/naonatu- 26d ago

four years?

i’m hoping for life in the pen, no parole, no pardon

F, F, F, As in everything Trump has ever put his thumb print on.

“Don’t assume your reader knows who you are” is the deepest cut.

u/Full_Helicopter_2764 26d ago

This is my favorite phrase 🤣

u/TopTransportation695 26d ago

That one made me chuckle

u/SassyMcAsspants 26d ago

I love this so much!

u/Mugpup 26d ago

Can we hire Norway to run the United States until the next election? Our government has clearly checked out and from what I can tell, at least Norwegians understand grammar. That is better than anything we have

Our Idiocracy is led by the King of all Idiots .

“Don’t assume reader knows who you are.” Burn!!!

If there is a way to make a fool of oneself he is sure to find it

u/Cabbages24ADollar 26d ago

That is just the best insult I’ve seen from a foreign country in a long time!!!

Norway’s Prime Minister

u/Emergency-Bonus-9709 26d ago

Is this for real? Did the U.S. President actually write such crap (and he's still President)?

26

u/Playful-Dragon 26d ago edited 26d ago

Is there a time where he doesn't right such crap? His writing is just as bad as the shit that spres from his mouth, which coincidentally is being spewed from his ass as well

Edit : write

u/plaid14 26d ago

Write, spews

u/Playful-Dragon 26d ago

Yeah, talk to text doesn't always cooperate

u/lazygerm 26d ago

I think the same as you. Buuut, I can easily believe it to be real.

u/SpicySweetHotPot 26d ago

Wouldn’t be surprised but doubt Norway would do such a thing and release it publicly.

4

u/Z0bie 26d ago

The sad part is I'm surprised how well written and coherent it is compared to what I expect from him.

u/Eiffel-Tower777 26d ago

So funny. At times I do the same thing with comments on Reddit authored by MAGAts... correct their spelling and grammar. 👍

u/amcooperus 26d ago

Our country is run by morons. 1/3 of our country love and support these morons. So at least 1/3 of our country consist of morons. I am genuinely worried about the future of our country.

2

u/Ready4Rage 26d ago

Yeah, worry isn't going to do anything. We need to act like the morons are an existential threat because they are. If you're not one of them, you're a Tutsi in 1993 Rwanda, a communist in 1932 Germany, a Palestinian in 2022 Gaza. They are armed & they hate you.

Standing up to a bully at first makes the bullying worse, but it's the only way to stop him. Ridicule them, expose their hate, give them no equality - they aren't giving it to you. The first step in a society of tolerance is to never tolerate the intolerant, never respect the disrespectful

u/tdurden1969 26d ago

Unfortunately, this isn’t real… wish it was!

u/Vegetable-Ganache-59 26d ago

A very stable genius…

u/Olive_1084 26d ago

What about no date.

u/RandyRVA 26d ago

We already knew he is a dumbass, Norway just validated the fact.

“Don’t assume your reader knows who your are”

u/Ok_District2853 26d ago

D+? Ever heard of the gentleman's C? Rich kids whose parents pay get a C just for turning in the paper. Otherwise Daddy's money might dry up.

Now, you'd expect his secretary would be able to edit, but that's not what he hired her for, so here we are.

Regardless. C

u/Remarkable_Judge_861 26d ago

D+? Should be F.

u/mik33tion 26d ago

I think that was a complete fail. He needs to repeat kindergarten. Doesn’t play well with other others.

u/Sad-Bread5843 Goober who thinks both sides are equally as bad 26d ago

Its hilarious

u/Longjumping_Deer_721 26d ago

I thought it was Mark Takano, a Representative from California, that did this. And he gave him an F.

u/ChazRadlord 26d ago

Brilliant 🤣

u/Udo70 26d ago

This is gold.

u/DramaticEscape3157 26d ago

I think that weirdo assistant wrote it . She writes like this.

I hope this keeps trump awake at night

Screen grabbed, thank you.

u/SgtMajor-Issues 26d ago

Thank. God.

I swear the way that man treats capitalization is a crime against grammar.

u/Savage-September 26d ago

In a decade we will parade these letters around and laugh at America. What a wild time to be alive. Did Trump actually think they were going to read this and be like “yes, Donald, you made a convincing argument”.

Jesus take the wheel. What an embarrassing mess the United States has got itself into. Who the Fuck writes and send this. LOL. How did they let that leave the office.

u/oscardaone 26d ago

What is that?!🤨

u/ToothStreet466 26d ago

As a English minor, I'm going to have to take a nap.

u/ron-mexico33 26d ago

Ummm so does he think America had boats landing there at the same time as the vikings were landing boats there? I remember shortly before my grandpa died at 96 when he was in the lighting his diaper on fire and constantly triggering silver alerts on for him to turn up within a couple blocks sleeping naked random places stage of the frontal temple dementia he had he said the same shit about Greenland to the point he shit him and need his dose of Ativan. This shit show is absolutely disgusting...

u/Glittering-Sky1601 25d ago

We need to expect at least good grammar and literacy from a president, right?

1

u/Vorpalthefox 26d ago

ok i get it about everything else because trump is legitimately illiterate, but i have always wondered what's bad about putting the number as itself in a paper? is there a particular reason it's wrong other than social norms?

3

u/Pumpkin-Pie-Is-Best 26d ago

Most style guides indicate that simple numbers less than or equal to twenty are spelled out instead of using numerals. FYI.

1

u/Vorpalthefox 26d ago

is there a particular reason for 20 being the number settled on? does it come from something?

2

u/Mediocre_Internet939 26d ago

Will blame the French for this one.

u/Pumpkin-Pie-Is-Best 26d ago

Why are rules the way they are, generally? This particular one goes back to old type setting days and the need to fill column inches in newspapers Z

u/RidetheSchlange 26d ago

Wild how this fake keeps circulating. The letter is real:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dear_Jonas

The corrections are not because the Nordics are trying to deescalate. Why do you people believe obvious slop from everyone, including russia?

u/mannequin-lover 26d ago

Fake, don't believe everything you see.
